七、短文汉语提示填空

We all know that it is important to get exercise. But how can we get enough

exercise and have fun as well.

The answer is: team sports! Team sports are w54

. When we're playing, our friends will

e55

us if we are not doing a good job, and there will be friends to give us cool advice on

how to play the sports better. Many times, we get to meet and make some new friends!

We play team sports for fun and good health. We play team sports to learn about the

team spirit. However, some teams try hard to win every game and b56

very competitive

(竞

争激烈的)

if we play too hard.

Sometimes it can be hard to find a team that works for us. But we can always start

o58

by ourselves! Start a team with some of our best friends, finding out what kind of

sports we like. It could be swimming, basketball, football, dancing or something else.

And while we're playing team sports, we should remember to play s59

too! We need

八、阅读回答问题

On a recent flight, Laura was talking happily to Lisa, the woman in the next seat

until they talked about fares

(票价)

. The woman bought her ticket two month ago and only

paid $109 while Laura paid the full fare of $457. She decided that next time she would find

out how to spend less money.

Here are some ways to save money:

Cheap airplane tickets. The cheapest way to fly is as a courier

(送快信的人)

. In return

for delivering a package for a courier company, you get a plane ticket that costs as little as

one-quarter of the regular fare or even less if the company needs someone at the last minute.

Recently, a courier flew round trip from Los Angeles to Tokyo for $100; a regular ticket cost

around $1,800.

Train passes. If you are going to do a lot of traveling by train, a train pass will save you

money. Train passes can be especially useful in India, which has the world's largest rail

system; in Japan, where trains are fast and convenient; and in Europe, where trains go to over

30,000 cities.

Hostels

(旅社)

. Hostels used to provide cheap place for people under the age of 25.

They are not only cheap ($8—$17 a night) but also a great way to meet people. Hostels are

often in interesting places—a castle in Germany, a lighthouse in California, a one-room

schoolhouse in the wilderness of Australia. And sometimes hostels have swimming pools.

Laura had a happy talk with the woman in the next seat, didn't she?
